Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday that he hopes Donald Trump “tones it down” after reports of violence have surfaced from his campaign rallies.

“I very much hope that he understands that in a democracy, people should be allowed to go to anybody’s rally, peacefully demonstrate without fear of being beaten up,” Sanders said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “So I really hope he tones it down. This is not good for the country.”

Trump has also recently accused Sanders’ supporters of protesting his events, which Sanders denied during his interview.

“To suggest that our campaign is telling people to disrupt his campaign is a lie. We don’t,” Sanders said.
